Congratulations to Deborah Brooks, the winner of the Cool Tools Survey Contest for April! Deborah has won a $100 gift certificate for taking the time to fill out our survey.

She was excited and told us a little about herself:

“I began my jewelry making experiences 30 years ago using antique silverware and selling my products wholesale and in the last 4 years on Etsy.

When PMC was introduced to the market, I couldn’t wait to try it, as it offered the opportunity for unlimited creativity. I started my journey with PMC 9 years ago and fell in love with it and have been working with it ever since. I have incorporated antique buttons, glass, semi & precious stones plus many other materials with the PMC. I am enjoying recycling jewelry and watch parts to create renewable wearable jewelry.

For the last 23 plus years I have been an instructor with the Great Plains Creative Arts Association. Every April, in Cozad Nebraska, for their 4 day arts camp, I teach the art of working with Metal Clay. My new tools will expand my ability to create and teach.

I often visit Cool Tools and I have already been drooling over the new antique molds.

Some of the items I love are the Slik conditioner and release, Silver Prep, the AlphaDisc along with the Patina Gel makes working with the clay so much easier.

I thoroughly enjoy being asked to design special items for my customers which challenges my imagination and skill. I have just received my first, of hopefully many more certifications in working with PMC.

I am so excited and greatly appreciate the Gift Certificate for the new tools, which gives me the opportunity to expand my skill and creative ability. I can’t wait to try and narrow down which of all the Cool Tools to pick, which will help me have lots of fun playing while teaching and creating.”

After every purchase at Cool Tools, you receive an email asking you to take a survey to tell us about your shopping experience. Your comments help us understand how we can improve and expand for you. A winner is selected every month. Keep offering us your thoughts and help us congratulate Deb this month!

We offer 29 colors of self-hardening, two-part clay resins that you can sculpt, mold and add to several jewelry pieces. New pointed-back crystal Chatons come in a variety of shapes, sizes & brilliant colors for embedding and embellishing.

Congratulations to Beth Ward, the winner of our April Random Review Contest. Beth has won a $100 Cool Tools gift certificate for reviewing a set of SuperFlex polishers. Beth said “Love them! I tried these at a friend’s house, and knew I needed the whole set. They save so much time and give such a professional result!”

Beth was excited and told us a little about herself:

“I make jewelry of just about every type. I’m learning to make glass beads, because I couldn’t find what I was looking for to go with my PMC focals. I’ve been selling my jewelry for the past few years, ever since my husband informed me I wouldn’t live long enough to wear all the things I’d made. Glass and PMC3 are my passion.

I found your company the same week I took my first metal clay class. I’ve never taken another one, mainly because there is so much to learn on the Cool Tools site there was no need. I find it a joy to write the reviews, because I love this company. Everything I’ve ever ordered was above and beyond my expectations.

I don’t know how to tell you how excited I am about winning! I’m not even sure how to spend it, other than I’m most excited because I get to spend time on your website shopping! I love this site, and recommend it to everyone I meet who uses metal clay. I always think there is nothing that could be done to improve my shopping experiences with you, and then I go back on and it’s all better than ever before! Mardel does such a great job with the instructions, and the products have made my life so much easier.

Thanks so much for making it a joy in a tough economy to spend money!”

After every purchase at Cool Tools, you receive an email asking you to review the products you ordered.

A new assortment of Antique Molds is here – find the design for your next jewelry project.

Sort through our extensive new selection of molds with designs inspired from nature, art, culture and more. Our antique molds are hand crafted from the original element so you get a perfect impression. A mold is a great way to own the beauty of these collectibles without the investment of the original, and the sizes are just right for jewelry components.

We use 100% silicone mold material that does not stick to metal clay, or any other type of clay, so no release is needed. Use any type of precious metal clay, polymer or ceramic clays. The molds can be placed on a heat source to dry, and can even be placed in an oven or toaster oven. Our molds are safe to 500F.

With over 300 beautiful and stunning Antique Mold designs, Cool Tools offers everything you need to make remarkable jewelry.
